You can safely delete the disable_spotlight shell script, too.

Question:
Is adding an external drive to the privacy tab in Tiger now a permanent setting, which sticks even when a drive is turned off and back on? I don't leave my drives on 24 hours, and what has always annoyed me to no end is the fact that once a drive is dismounted and turned off, or if you reboot, Spotlight once again tries to index. What I and so many other people want, is the ability to turn off spotlight for all external devices, permanently, without having to continually intervene in preventing the OS from f%^&$& with them.
How do we get THAT? Just about every other description of the problem is irrelevant to me.
